how to swipe card like tinder app in flutter

Question

I'm working on a Flutter project and I'm trying to implement swipe card functionality similar to Tinder or a deck of cards. I want users to be able to swipe left or right on cards, triggering actions based on the direction of the swipe.

I've explored some packages like flutter_swipe_cards, but I'm having trouble integrating them or customizing the behavior to suit my specific needs.

Could someone provide guidance or a code example on how to achieve this swipe card functionality in Flutter? I'd appreciate any advice, code snippets, or recommended packages to make this feature work smoothly in my app.

Answer 1

can you use this, it works fine:

void main() {
  runApp(MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      home: SwipeCardsDemo(),
    );
  }
}

class SwipeCardsDemo extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _SwipeCardsDemoState createState() => _SwipeCardsDemoState();
}

class _SwipeCardsDemoState extends State<SwipeCardsDemo> {
  List<String> cardList = ["Card 1", "Card 2", "Card 3", "Card 4", "Card 5"];

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: Text("Swipe Cards Demo"),
      ),
      body: Center(
        child: Stack(
          children: cardList.map((card) {
            int index = cardList.indexOf(card);
            return Dismissible(
              key: Key(card),
              direction: DismissDirection.horizontal,
              onDismissed: (direction) {
                setState(() {
                  cardList.removeAt(index);
                });
                if (direction == DismissDirection.endToStart) {
                  // Handle left swipe
                  print("Swiped left on card $index");
                } else if (direction == DismissDirection.startToEnd) {
                  // Handle right swipe
                  print("Swiped right on card $index");
                }
              },
              background: Container(
                color: Colors.red,
                alignment: Alignment.centerLeft,
                child: Icon(Icons.thumb_down, color: Colors.white),
              ),
              secondaryBackground: Container(
                color: Colors.green,
                alignment: Alignment.centerRight,
                child: Icon(Icons.thumb_up, color: Colors.white),
              ),
              child: Card(
                child: Center(
                  child: Text(
                    card,
                    style: TextStyle(fontSize: 24.0),
                  ),
                ),
              ),
            );
          }).toList(),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

kindly let me know if this helps.
